The Sapphires

Scope

The Sapphires is set in the heady days of the late '60s when four young, talented singers from a remote Aboriginal mission, are discovered by an unlikely talent scout. Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia's answer to The Supremes, The Sapphires grasp the chance of a lifetime when they're offered their first real gig - entertaining the troops in Vietnam. On this Australian Goal Post Pictures produced feature film we created various set and prop elements for each scene. These included military vehicle and facility decals, country pub signage, Melbourne Hospital signage, Saigon nightclub interiors, period cigarette packaging, period luggage tags, period beer and spirits labels. I worked with a great team including Production Designer Melinda Doring.
